stuffy nose!

Who else is having a stuffy nose these days? I don't know if its a cold or if its rhinitis? I hear its common for pregnant women to get stuffy noses as its the hormones, blood increase, etc. I don't feel the usual cold symptoms, coughing, sore throat, etc.

I had one from 25wks until 8 weeks post delivery with my last pregnancy. The most annoying part was the anytime I talked to anyone they always said "are you sick?" Oh, and it made me snore super bad! ;)

Best thing is some ice on the face. I like freezing popcorn kernels bc they don't get as cold or melt and they are light weight and form to your face. Also good when the kids grow up and have boo boos.

I've had a stuffy nose for almost 3 weeks. 2 weeks of it I had a cold so my ears were clogged too. Now I'm stuffy or runny on and off and this cold weather definitely doesn't help us. And I don't feel sick anymore jus stuffy at 15 weeks. Good luck ladies!

Me too. I already have bad sinuses and when I am pregnant they are even worse. I woke up today with a really bad sinus infection. Luck for me my ob remembers from our last baby so all I had to do was call her and she called in meds for me.

Same here. I wake up with a dry but yet stuffy nose if that makes since. Feels like its burning and full of buggers. I got a humidifier and keep it on every night. So far the past few days I've had some relief when waking up.

I must admit, this has been my most annoying symptom. Dry but stuffed & I wake up throughout the night because of it. It's fine during the day for the most part. Not complaining tho! Other than sleeping thru my first trimester, I have been almost symptom free :)

Try using a neti pot which is just a nasal sinus wash. It rinses all the yuck out of your sinuses. The relief isn't immediate but for those who have had severe sinus pressure and pain like myself it relieves that after a few rinses. Steam also helps me. Feel better everyone!
